Dopamine menu

A pre-planned list of healthy dopamine sources you reach for instead of scrolling.

This page isn't typically flagged for the selected profile — shown because you opened it directly.

The ADHD brain will seek dopamine anyway — give it a menu of better options prepared in advance.

  • List activities by category: starters (2 min: cold water, a favourite track), mains (a walk, a workout, a hobby), desserts (in moderation: a game, a show), specials (something rare).
  • Keep the menu at hand (a card, a note) — in a craving moment you don’t invent, you pick from the list.
  • Combine with asking yourself: what do I actually need right now?

What the research says

Scientific grade verified against the literature. No entries = no direct studies (graded from mechanism/experience).

What the grade means

A A — strongest evidence: meta-analyses or RCTs directly confirm it works (or, for diagnostic tools, strong validation of accuracy).
B B — good evidence: a single RCT, or a strong mechanism with supporting studies.
C C — weak / preliminary: a plausible mechanism, but few direct, controlled tests.
D D — no evidence: theory or isolated anecdotes, no studies.
